Your only leverage is a) Your partner's good faith and good relationship as your employer, and b) Your willingness to leave your situation. Both are worth something, and leaving will have negative impacts on your employer. These situations can get ugly, because once you broach the subject, your employer may not only decline to negotiate, they might start looking to replace you. Tread carefully. Much is dependent on your hopefully warm relationship and the business ethic of your boss.
